Top Ten Conversation Starters
In a bookshop once, a woman leaned over my shoulder and told me that Agatha Christie's Dumb Witness was worth a read. So I bought it on her say-so. It's now become one of my favourites.
A rather good conversation starter, if I may say so.
The moment someone talks about music (especially music that I love) they have my attention.
If someone like the same music then is even cooler!
Weather is a pretty good conversation starter, but it's too often that someone says, 'Wonderful weather we're having... '
This is a very British thing to do. Thank God for our unpreditable weather - without it, us reserved Brits would never speak!
I find it funny on just how true this statement is I dunno what it is about the Weather but good lord it starts Convo's off pretty well!
I think it's the most common subject to begin with!
"Oh, the state of public transport these days. Shocking! "
One of the most awkward things is that I couldn't be less interested, and a number of people I meet couldn't be more obsessed! So I have to hear them drone on for hours about the scores, and I eventually go into a coma. It is one of those really tedious things in life.
(When I was in high school)
Parent: So did anything interesting happen at school today?
Me: I saw a kid a lady changing a kid's diaper in the classroom, a kid threw up in the cafeteria, there was a fight, and the teacher yelled at me again.
Yup. Just bring this up, especially when meeting new Kindergarteners.
"How's your sex life, lil' Jimmy? "
"Wha? "
Again, sounds controversial
Talk about the ones you know
Sounds like a controversial one
Obama is the answer to everything
Great starter. "Telephone drives to taco bell with Fluke".
